Any discussion of WWIII is rather speculative.
I know an F4 under our control was given permission to recover to Kef. I guess it would have been useful in their understanding of the weapons fit
We once had an F15C under control, same deal but we had the codes.
As for F4E deploying to UK - one scenario was a geological event. Another might have been enemy action making Kef untenable. Another might be a surplus of fighters in ACLANT and a shortage in ACE.
